The Chicago Tribune reports on Michael Jordan and his girlfriend: Michael Jordan has taken a 30-year mortgage and is playing house in modest suburban Miami with his reported new paramour, Cuban model Yvette Prieto.

Hi. I am currently in San Francisco, walking across the Golden Gate Bridge on my way to a town called Sausalito. Not sure if that’s the right spelling. Most people drive it or at least bike it, but after rainy days it’s nice out and I’m up for a walk.
No, I haven’t moved to California. Just visiting.

The new season of the Fox TV show 24 began a few days ago, and in terms of nonstop action and plot twists it’s just as fun as ever.
I was recently a bit disappointed by a two-hour 24 special called “Redemption,” but fortunately that was a one-time thing.
Fox put multiple back-to-back episodes together, so after just two days of shows they’re already four episodes deep into 24. The fifth episode is on January 19.
What makes it a fun show is how quickly the story changes. Constant drama. Almost every minute is entertaining.
24 is on Monday nights.

It’s like enjoying a TV show that you know is total garbage, yet something about it hits you in just the right spot that gets you to keep watching. Hit the play (triangle) button below.
